Yummy treats

So... my week has been a little rough so far. I've been very busy, and that's not really going to change over the next few weeks.

In light of this, I'm posting a few little treats that have brightened my week a bit. Mike, if you ever read this, I know that they're not good for me (for the most part), but I have been enjoying them. ;)

First is something I would not and will not get very often. It is a McCafe hot chocolate. It was surprisingly good! Very rich and yummy, a definite pick-me-up for a drizzly day.Next is something that really makes me smile. They are called kancho snacks, and are kind of like little chocolate filled cookies. I found them at a Korean market near my house. They are cheap, fun, tasty, and very cute.

When I have these, I typically
share them with any friends that I have around.
I also share them with my family. However, I like to make sure that I have quite a few left for myself, because I love them so very much. ^_^# This is one of the few things that I do not share freely....


The next treat is something that I think I invented! Someone somewhere has probably thought of it and made it before, but I just discovered it and it was VERY good.
You all know that I love green tea, right? Well, I do. I really do. However, I am a wimp and do not like it very strong most days. The other day I was making myself a lovely mug of green tea, but I let it steep for longer than I really enjoy. So... to save the cup of deliciousness, I added a little bit of my Mom's hazelnut creamer. Imagine my surprise when it was absolutely delicious! The cream sweetened the tea and added a rich... well, creaminess to it. Also, the sweetness allows me to steep the tea for longer and get more of its healthy goodness. I am definitely hooked on this as a delicious winter drink. (Sorry for the moderately crappy picture quality, I took it with my webcam.)
